Poor old turkey.
Contest December 18th.
The average grade this year is very high.
Miss Brown is making a good president in Oread.
Christmas vacation begins Friday.
December 20th.
The Oreads have made arrangements for a moot court.
The contestants are rehearsing for the day—or night—of fate.
The December contestants are already beginning to feel unsec.
The second term in the department of music began November 24th.
Now that election is over, the literary societies should be better attended.
The Senior class in economies are reading their theses on social problems.
The Orophilians are indeed very enterprising with their special program.
The Seniors do not set a good example by coming to time with their chapel orations.
Prof. Canfield has been indulging the Freshman history class with written quizzes this week.
The tail can never wag the dog, as the vice president-elect has found out to his sorrow.
There will be no reports of the literary societies this week because they did not meet last week.
The contest will be held Thursday evening instead of Friday, as many wished to go home Friday.
The attendance in chapel is becoming lighter than it ought. Students should take more interest in this religious exercise.
The museum has received a very handsome present from, Mr. John A. Alder, in the shape of an Indian pipe, tobacco pouch and war club.
There must be about one hundred and fifty classes in the University, as every student who went home last week reported himself the best in his class.
The local oratorical contest will come off February 6th. Those desiring to compete must hand in their orations by January 5th, to the committee, who will select six to be spoken. The committee consists of Profs. Arthur Canfield, Spring and Miller.
The business managers are still selling Courier stock. Walk right up with your little two-and-a-half and get a front seat in the great semi-religious weekly.
There is some talk of having the contest at the opera house, and charging twenty-five cents admission. Let some one express his sentiments through the "Views."
The Oratorical Association met yesterday and elected W. Y. Morgan member of the executive committee of the State Oratorical Association.
Mr. Posthlewaite's pocketbook was returned to him all safe and sound, with the exception of twenty dollars, which the finder retained as a reward.
The street car company continues to lose student patronage by starting the car from the foot of the hill precisely at twelve and one, instead of waiting a few minutes, till the students get down.
The expression "I met a gentleman the other day who knew of you in Lawrence," spoken by your father, does not contain a great deal in itself; but the look which accompanies it is full of meaning.
The subject of Prof. Canfield's "talk" next Tuesday evening is "What shall I do with my neighbor's wheelbarrow?" Mr. Hamilton entertains the hope that the professor will conclude to return it.
It does beat all how money will double in Kansas! Why, last year the assistant Latin and Greek professor started with nine pounds Sterling, and the principal this year has increased to eighteen pounds.
The committees appointed by Oread and Orophilian to make arrangements for the contest have come to a dead lock over the choice of judges. The Oread committee propose that each committee choose one judge and then they jointly choose the third. The Orophilians want all three to be chosen by the joint committee.
There was a Democratic ratification at Highbargin's the other night. The singing society was in session in the parlor, when some kid introduced a bundle of firecrackers. A certain member was trying to reach high "C," and at the explosion of the first cracker she saw "C" and went it two better. Those crackers caused almost as much confusion as the average mouse would have caused.
A prize of forty dollars for the best, and twenty dollars for the second best oration in the state contest has been offered. Of this amount the Oratorical Association contributes thirty-five dollars and Emporia twenty-five. This will come very handy to the successful contestant, as it will just about cover his expenses.
A. W. Postlethwaite had the misfortune to lose his pocket book, while returning from home to Lawrence last Monday. Mr. P. changed cars at Ottawa, and it was not until the conductor on the Lawrence train called for tickets that he discovered his loss. The conductor telegraphed to the train upon which Mr. P. had come to Ottawa, but no trace of the wealth was gotten. The book contained twenty dollars in money, the Freshman constitution and some valuable papers.

We think the time well spent that is employed in listening to Prof. Canfield's Tuesday evening "talks."
He said : "How can I quench the fountain of love which gushes forth ever at thy sight?"
Why is Mr. ___'s, withdrawal from the University like the glass covering over the family of wood-chucks in the museum? Because it's a ground hog case.
She was young and sweet and poetic, and he was young and mischievous. They were sitting out on the veranda in the moonlight, and she grew ethereal. "O, how I love to sit out here in the moonlight," she cooed, "to be fanned by the languorous perfume of the roses, and be kissed by the soft airs from the south!" Then he kissed her, and she grew indignant. "How dare you?" she almost sobbed "Why, I'm a soft heir from the south," he replied contritely. She didn't say anything when he kissed her again-
She said: "O, dam it!"
One of the best events of the season in the dramatic line will be the debut of Mrs. Addie Lyon, at the opera house, Wednesday evening, December 10th, assisted by Prof. Fulton, of Kansas City, in scenes from Macbeth and Ingomar. Mrs. Lyon's talent is of the highest order, and her numerous friends in Lawrence will no doubt turn out to hear her in her first trial of the stage. So many of our readers are well acquainted with Mrs. Lyon to require us to say little upon the subject, but to those who do not know her we can only make the assurance that an evening spent listening to her will be extremely pleasant and profitable. Prof. Fulton, who will assist her, is also well known, and needs no introduction to students who have heard him. All in all the entertainment will undoubtedly be of a high order.
Students will find the best grades of Coal at Frank A. Doane's cor.Mass., and Henry Sts.

MOTTO. — Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken.
Entered at the Post Office in Lawrence, Kansas, as second class matter.
Cutler's Petroleum Engine Print.
Every alumnus in the state should see the member of the legislature from his district, regarding the wants of his alma mater, in the session of the legislature, beginning next month.
An effort will be made by Wichita, it is understood, at the session of the legislature this winter, to have the "imbecile" institution on the northern brow of the hill moved, down there.
Prof. Nichols has recently made several additions to the apparatus in his department, notably in the line of electricity. We believe a special course in electricity would be quite popular under his leadership.
In the Views department attention is called to the plan of having future contests between the Oread and Orophilian societies occur on the Thursday before the holiday vacation. We hope this plan will be adopted this year.
A "clean sweep" seems to be the understanding with the Republician gubernatorial administration, as it again comes into power next month. It is being generally demanded, it would seem by party feeling all over the State. This of course, means another change in the affairs of the K. S. U. We hope for the best. The governor-elect is one of the broadest and most fair minded men of the state. The institutions of learning could not be in safer hands. If "mistakes" are made they will be of the "head and not the heart" with him, we feel assured. Our only admonition to him would be—to fully understand our wants before he moves. We would then feel we would have nothing to fear.
A course of lectures as a drawing attraction cannot be made a financial success. But a varied line of attractions rightly managed can be made such. Let the two literary societies form an association to be known as the K. S. U. AMUSEMENT ASSOCIATION. Six good lecturers can be gotten vet
AMUSEMENT ASSOCIATION.—Something must be done in the way of a course of lectures for the year. 'As students we come here from our homes, at heavy expense, to derive all the instruction possible. A lecture course is promised us by the board of regents, but is not this year being furnished. We can do something in the matter ourselves. Shall we do it?
this year; the loss on them can be made up on other less literary attractions. Some good men take the matter in hand in each society to-day have committees appointed to confer and see if some plan cannot be garied to a successful ultimatum.
As students of a great and growing University, which is dependent on State aid for its maintenance, do we realize our individual responsibility?
There is considerable antagonism when plans are proposed for the improvement of this, our highest State institution. This must be overcome wholly or in part, before any of the cherished schemes of those who hold the interests of the University nearest and dearest, can be realized.
It may be advisable to present petitions to the "powers that (are soon to) be," at Topeka.
If an appropriation of $50,000 for a natural history building is secured, and provision is made for a new library, and last but not least, funds are provided for a gymnasium, there will have to be solid work done, and much can be done by the students.
By writing or talking with our representative or senator we can perhaps do much to aid the upbuilding of our University.
It is our duty as students to show the necessity of these improvements, and if each individual will do his part,the result of our collective efforts will be beneficial.
In this connection we would note that several of Prof. Snow's natural history specimens have been destroyed, from not having a proper place to deposit. It is a slain that the partial result of years of earnest works should be destroyed. Such valuable specimens as are Prof. Snow's should not only be put in vaults to guard them from insects and "podents," but to preserve them in case of fire. In less than a year we hope to see these specimens ensconced in our new natural history building.
Wake Up!
The time for buncombe is past; the time for action is at hand. If the friends of the University intend doing anything in its behalf they need be at it. Next month the legislature meets and the University will have to endure the bitterest fight it has ever known. Those who sit back in silent complacency and flatter themselves that the University will reeive all it asks, simply because it deserves it, may find themselves ingloriously left. We confess the situation is most serious.
The opposition to our institution will be unique and powerful. First, it will be assailed by those bumpkins who do not believe in "hifaluting edication." It will be attacked by demagogues whose efforts at economy stop only at their own salaries. It must run the gauntlet of a host of adherents of small-fry "colleges" scattered around the State which have the audacity to be jealous of the University. It will also doubtless have to bear the assaults of the friends of the Emporia Normal School—a good institution, and one that should be engaged in better work than injuring her sisters in state education. Nevertheless the Emporia men have opposed us in the past, and may be expected to do so in the future. It will be attacked by several leading politicians, who believe State aid should be extended
only to the common schools. Lastly, it will have to endure the opposition of leading radical Republicans, who are at heart warm friends of higher state education, but who believe that doctrines hostile to their party are being taught here. These men seem to think, strangely enough, that their only remedy is to cut off University appropriations.
On the other hand, not one of the former champions of University bills will be in the legislature this year, and we must seek new advocates for our cause.
Affairs being in so critical a shape it behooves every one who wishes the University well, to put his shoulder to the wheel. This is not idle talk. The alumni and other former students should acquaint their representatives with our past work, our prospects and our needs. The citizens of Lawrence should urge their members in the legislature to a thorough knowledge of the management and wants of our college. While the University is not a local institution in any way, the championship of its interests rests largely with the members from this place. The utter ignorance on the subject displayed by the Lawrence representatives in the last House was supremely disgusting.
To-day the University of Kansas stands in the first rank of State institutions. Its rapid development has been unprecedented. A number of our professors have acquired national reputation from their work here. The instruction given within its walls is of a liberal and practical nature, adapted to the wants of the west. It is justly regarded with pride by the people of the State, and by awakening them to a realization of its needs, the danger threatened by the opposition will be easily overcome.
On looking over the list of appropriations asked by the regents, there will be found but one item out of the usual expenditures. This is $50,000 for a hall of natural history for Prof. Snow's department. This should be cheerfully given. Every one acquainted with the history of higher education in this State or in the United States, knows that Prof. Snow has done more for our University than any three men at present connected with it. He came here when it was in its infancy, and has worked drudgingly and unceasingly for its interests. His name is known among scientists over the entire world. Time and again he has refused positions of far greater emoluments and honor in eastern Universities, to stay with his pet institution. Year after year he has devoted his own summer vacations, in company with students, making collections for the University. These have been stored away until every odd garret and corner in the University is crowded. He now asks a place where he can arrange these collections he has given the State. Such a building should be gladly provided.
By crippling the University in the way of reducing its appropriations, the legislature would practically destroy what it has taken years of extraordinary labor to build up; and what it would require many more years to regain. Therefore, we appeal to every friend of the University to go to work. We have the sentiment on our side, and it needs only to be aroused. Don't delay! Wake up! Pitch in!
EXCHANGE.
The Central Collegian is a neat, well printed monthly from Fayette Missouri. The literary department is good, the article on Edgar Allan Poe being especially worthy of mention.
The Buchtel Record is on our table. It has a very handsome cover, and were it as good inside as it is out,it would be a model paper.
The News Letter, from Iowa, is well supplied with good local this month. Its leading editorial, on College Government, is a good one.
The following is taken from an editorial in the Illint, and we regard it as one of the best editorials we have seen in any college paper this year: "It is too much the tendency of students during the college year to neglect things not connected with school life, and to live as if the college walk shut them off all interest in the wide world around them. At social gatherings and in their walks the conversations all drift toward school affairs, and in the society debates there is a noticeable lack of information concerning the events which are transpiring in political circles, and in the rushing, practical life of the world. The evils resulting from this negligence are manifest to all who stop to consider them. We think the contempt so often shown for the college graduate is mainly attributable to it. For, in shutting themselves off from the world, they grow up as hot-house plants, as it were, in an artificial atmosphere and under generally impractical professors. And in so doing they forget the real object of an education, which is not to glean a bundle of facts and store them away in the mind, but to develop the intellect and to expand the mental vision. Education consists in growing stronger and broader mentally. But confining all our thoughts to the text book and class room will have a tendency to narrow rather than broaden our minds. He who studies into the present condition of society—the development going on in national and international politics, and the general characteristics of modern civilization while he is studying the sciences—who is continually throwing on the institutions of to-day the light he is obtaining from history and philosophy, and oftimes from pertinent facts and discoveries in the natural world, will receive a real education from the college course, and instead of stepping from the theoretical to the practical life on commencement day, he will simply take upon himself larger and heavier burdens, similar in a large measure to those he has been carrying through his student life."

The freedom of the press seems to be a disputed question in some of our eastern colleges. The faculty of Hamilton College have promulgated the following order: "Resolved, That the editors of the Hamilton Lit are hereby informed that they are to refrain from all criticisms or unfavorable mention of any member of the faculty.

Among the juvenile books which will certainly attain great popularity is another volume of the "Zig Zag" travel series. The last one is the story of a bright inquiring class of boys in a journey with their teacher, through Acadia. What they said, did and saw is told in a bright, interesting style, and holds the young reader fascinated from beginning to end. The book is published by Estes & Lauriat, of Boston. The same firm has gotten out a new handsomely illustrated story book for young children, entitled "Other Folks at Home." It is charmingly and simply written; just the thing for a Christmas gift to a little brother or sister. Sold by S. T. Field & Co.

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS:—From the dome of our University we have one of the finest "views" in Kansas, and few are the students who have not feasted their eyes upon the beauty of the city and the country that lies at the foot of Mt. Oread till their hearts have been filled to overflowing with wonder and admiration. But how many students know the history of Mt. Oread, Lawrence and the graveyard east of the city, wherein so many heroes sleep?
Students attend our University, plunge into Latin and Greek; learn of Marathon, Thermopylae and the Roman Empire; they can give the most intricate details of ancient records; but how many can rehearse the simple story of that self sacrificing old hero, John Brown? How many can tell the glorious, heroic, sad story of Jas. Lane, whose monument graces our cemetery, and whose history is dear to Kansas? How many can name the day that Quantrell's murderous band left the houses of our city in ashes, and the streets wet with blood? It is well that our students should know of Greece and Rome, but they should never allow the history of Kansas and of Lawrence to fade or be forgotten, for it is among the brightest jewels in the crown of human liberty.
EDITOR VIEWS: -It has been stated that colleges have no power in politics. In the light of facts this statement seems false. Nearly all of our
text books on political economy are written by college professors. A student forms his political principles during his college life. Many of our journalists are students or men fresh from college life. In the late election the opinions of our colleges were printed as great evidence for or against a party by our best newspapers. Many of our highest diplomatists and embassadors are college men. These things show that colleges are no small factor in politics. POLITICIAN.
EDITOR VIEWS:—The enjoyment of the Thanksgiving vacation arouses n me a wish to lengthen the Christmas holidays. Our school work closes at noon on Friday, Dec. 19th. If we leave on the noon or evening trains we shall practically add a day to the vacation. It has been the custom to hold the contest between the Oread and Orophilian literary societies on that last Friday evening. It is the opinion of several students to whom I have spoken, that it would be better to hold the contest on Thursday evening. No one can study on that last afternoon, and hence we waste time by staying in Lawrence. Experience with lectures in the past has shown us Friday's recitations will not suffer. Shall the change be made? J. D.

The American politics class took an examination Monday.
The Oreads will hold a moot court session the first Friday after vacation.
The "laws" held the best moor court of the season last Saturday evening.
Rockwell is thinking of changing politics, and going to Washington to see—Cleveland.
The laws now hold moot courts every Monday evening, in Prof. Summerfield's office.
Student: "When you take them on the half shell, they di(e)gest as you eat 'em."
Prof. in Philosophy: "What can you tell about the digestion of food; oysters, for instance?"
Prof Snow's great pun: "To drink artesian well water is not well." And yet physiology is required.
It is said that the president of the Kats uses their new Bible to heighten her position. This is uncharitable.
The "Cash" dining club laid in a store of twenty bushels of apples. No outsiders admitted except by invitation.
If the Sophs do not even up with the Juniors to-night for last year's red pepper they certainly deserved the pepper.
We speak of it now so that no member of the Semer class will graduate and leave town, as one or two students did last year, without paying his society dues.
Prof. Sterling has been very successful with his beginning Greek classes. The present one has made almost as rapid strides as did the "beginners" last year.
The Juniors held their class meeting Tuesday, to discuss their projected party. It was discovered that several of the "dudes" had been previous and asked their girls, and the "Yops" were left. A war of words ensued, far beyond the power of pen to describe. Finally the "dudes" yielded gracefully (?), and the choice of fair ones determined by lot. Each one drew just the girl he wanted, and is happy. If so, why not?
The third hour dancing class opened for its usual session last week, reorganized and proceeded to business. But alas! its life was short, though sweet. Too much Doctor did the class up Brown.
Prof. Canfield's "talk" at the Y. M. C. A. rooms Tuesday evening, was well attended. Subject of next week: "What shall I do with my neighbor's wheelbarrow?"

OROPHILIAN. —The society was called to order by President Blair. Messrs. D. W. Wooley, H. P. Krehbile, J. D. McLaren and W. J. Marshall, entertained the society before recess with select readings, declarations and orations. Mr. Chas. Elwell, the chorister, favored the audience with several pieces of vocal and instrumental music. After recess Messrs. Bremen, Higgins and Kelley delivered contest enconium orations. The judges decided that Mr. Bremen was the champion. The society refused to enter into partnership with the Oread society, for the purpose of organizing an amusement association.
NORMAL NOTES.—The society was called to order with President Pierson in the chair. The following officers-elect received the oath of office: M. T. Cummings, president; May Sabine, vice president; Flora Eddy, recording secretary; and M. L. Field, sargeant-at-arms. M. E. Pierson, Louise Rose and M. L. Field were appointed as a committee to procure music during the ensuing term. We next listened to a short but interesting program, consisting of: Readings, Mary Sabine and Lena Moulton; declamation, L. H. Rose; elective, M. T. Cummings. After recess the corresponding secretary read the first issue of the Normal Companion, composed mostly of communications from the alumni Normals. This is a
new feature in the Normal work, and is to embrace letters from alumni Normals, upon their success and progress in the teacher's profession, and such other productions pertaining to the work as they may see fit; also, contributions from the present members. It is to be read every six weeks. The society was favored with good music by the quartette, a duet by Messrs. Field and Cummings and instrumental music by Miss Franc Eddy.
It is exceedingly disgusting to see a boy who knows comparatively nothing about oratory or the composition of an oration, stand up, as a certain person did in his class, and attempt to improve, of even hint at the improvement of one of Webster's master pieces. If the earth does not suit this smart gentleman, we will make him out a deed to it, and grant him the privilege of changing whatsoever may not chance to please his critical eye.
Last Friday the Engineering society listened to an excellent discourse on Coal Mining, by Prof. Bailey, who made the subject doubly interesting by giving an account of the incidents attending a descent n a mine. The next paper was on Duplex Telegraphy, by T. F. Oakley, showing the principles of the methods now in use by the Western Union Telegraph Company. Owing to the lateness of the hour, several papers were postponed until the next meeting. An abstract of the current scientific news was then given by H. F. Smith, and the society adjourned.
BILL to be introduced into the Orophilian Senate this afternoon;
No.14.
SECTION I. Be it enacted by the Senate of the U. S., the House of Representatives concurring, That Congress shall assume political control of the Territory of Utah, for the purpose of enforcing obedience to such laws as shall there be in force, and especially to that statute prohibiting polygamy.
SEC. II. That a commission of three persons be appointed by the President, by and with the consent of the Senate, who shall as a whole represent the authority of Congress in said Territory, and severally assume control of the executive, legislative and judicial departments.
SEC. III. That such military force as the Secretary of War shall deem advisable, shall be placed at the disposal of this commission.
Sec. IV. That on and after June 1, 1885, landing on, or entrance into U. S. Territory, shall be refused to all polygamists who shall not have previously been citizens of the U. S. us polygamists.
Introduced by a West Virginia senator.
Prof. Dyche has added greatly to the appearance of the museum, by placing there a herd of four deer.

Miss Florence Finch, of '81, is now located at Lowell, Mass., at which place she is publishing a Sunday paper called the Bell. The Courier extends congratulations.
W. T. Findley reports himself well pleased with his theological studies at Chicago. He desires to be remembered to all his friends. He says in private letter; "I attended a church social the other night. Free oysters and free girls. I took a little of both."
Prof. Trueblood, so favorably known by our students last year, seems to be achieving grand success in his work at Ann Arbor, where he went from the Ohio Wesleyan. We take the following from the Ann Arbor Chronicle: Prof. Trueblood, of the Fulton & Trueblood School of Oratory, Kansas City, is organizing a class among the studentu. He comes with the best of recommendations from other colleges where he has been at work. Yesterday afternoon he gave an instructive lecture upon oratory, to a large audience, in the law lecture room, after which he gave several readings. His selection from Mark Twain brought down the house. Prof. Trueblood will be in Ann Arbor until the last of January. This is a rare opportunity for students wishing to fit themselves for public speaking.
The University has turned out some graduates who have soon made their influence felt in the outside world. But among some of its undergraduates are to be found some of its most influential patrons. Such an one is Mr. Geo, Nicholson, who some of the elder students now attending, remember in his school days. Entering the employ of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa railroad company as a young man, making his own way in the world, he stands to-day the chief clerk of Hon. W. S. White, general passenger agent, and as Mr. White is in Topeka but a small portion of his time, Mr. Nicholson really fills that, one of the most important positions of an immense railroad corporation.

The Courier is run in the interest of the Kansas State University. It is published by THE STUDENTS. It has received, and is receiving no favors nor courtesies from regents nor faculty. It is supported by pure business enterprise. Its advertising columns and subscription list is paying its way, and its managers good profit. As representative of the students of the K. S. U., we are proud of it.
Notwithstanding'the lack of courtesy extended us by the "Powers," with magnanimity we this week, having the interests of the K. S. U. "nearest the core of our hearts," place the names of the members of the legislature on our subscription list free. They meet next month, and have the welfare of our school in their hands.
Arrangements are under way for the enlargement of our publication from January 1st on. We will then stand without peer as a weekly college publication in the United States. So much for the enterprise of the students of the K. S. U.
The State legislature meets next month. The appropriations for our school, for its maintenance for the next two years, are in their hands. We have nothing to fear of fair appropriations being made without discussion. But with the growth of our State to-day, we wish they would be a little more liberal than they have been for the past few years. Statistics from colleges of other states much less able from financial resources, make them show us far behind in the line of appropriations. We believe lack of information on these matters is really all that has kept them so. Were they shown in their full bearing we would have nothing to fear.
a fairer, more enterprising and less prejudiced body of men as a whole than the legislature of a western state, could not be brought together.
"The heart is all right ; inform the head, and all is well."
Information—a full and clear understanding of the wants, and what are now becoming needs of our University, is all that is wanted to secure from our legislature, we believe, free and liberal appropriations.
From the Lawrence Herald-Tribune: THE UNIVERSITY COURIER came out this morning full of interesting news in the local columns, while the
editorial page contained a well written editorial on the duty which students owe the University in speaking a good word to their representatives and senators, in behalf of the University. Much good can doubtless be accomplished in this way. It is to be hoped that the representatives from this county will study the University and its needs, and be prepared to defend it during the coming session of the legislature. The ignorance displayed by some of the members in some previous sessions was a disgrace to themselves and their constituents.
The COURIER asks the lenience of its readers for this one transgression of its characteristic modesty. We cannot forbear for once letting you see what others say and think of us.
From the Lawrence Gasette of the 6th, from the pen of the Hon. excongressman Sidney Clark, we clip:
THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER, published by the UNIVERSITY COURIER company every Friday morning, comes regularly to our table, and is brim full of interesting matter. The business managers of the paper are John Sullivan, president of the company, and W. Y. Morgan. The editorial staff consists of B. C. Preston, T. F. Doran, Victor Linley, Nettie Brown, Carrie Fisher, F. W. Barnes, Ella Ropes and W. L. Kerr. The paper is intellectually bright in all its departments, and the young gentlemen and ladies who so ably conduct its affairs have the right to feel proud of its great success. The COURIER, in the vigor of its editorials, and in the variety of its personal matter, is not a whit behind the University papers of Harvard and Yale
We wish to call the attention of our many readers to the appropriation bill as presented by the Regents, as it appears in "Regent's Report."
A study of this bill, in comparison with some statistics given below, which show the comparative expenses and requirements of six leading Universities, including Kansas State University, will show that the Regents of the University are not asking too much of the state, nor even enough, in comparison to the amounts appropriated to other institutions of like standing, by the states to which they belong.
These statistics are princepally from last year:
Minn. Mo. Mich. Iown. Nch. Kansas
Municipal salaries $8,000 $2,600 * $2,500 * $2,800 * $2,800
$4,000 $2,000 $1,200 $1,800 $1,800 $1,800
Average salary per week of Professors 1,000 10 866 10 720
Average salary per week of Assistants 100 10 18 13 20
Hours per week in lecture room 15 19 17 18 34
Number of wives in Nursing班 15,000 14,000 1,500 15,000 6,500
Expended for library 15,000 14,000 1,500 15,000 6,500
Expected for library 15,000 14,000 1,500 15,000 6,500

lor receives less than any of those compared, save one; our professors less, and assistant professors less; while the are required to teach a greater number of hours per week and a greater number of students in each of their classes.
This table shows that our chancel-
This last militates directly against that special work which it is the policy of all other institutions to promote in their facilities, thereby adding to the reputation of the institutions, and to their ability to do first class work. Harvard recognizes a broader policy than any other University in this respect; and gives each member of the faculty one year in seven entirely free from University work (with salary continued), for special investigation and original effort. The result of this is manifest in the high standing of the University.
The table also shows that our library—the laboratory of all departments—containing the smallest number of volumes, receives least money to increase the number. It shows that though Kansas State University is third in the scale of years, it expends less money than any of these six Universities, because it receives less.
No report.
Considering these facts, the Board of Regents ask for greater appropriations for the coming year than for previous years; but their demands, as may be seen by the table, is not in proportion to the demands of similar institutions.
Now Kansas had a greater increase in population than any other state, and as wealth in a western state increases in proportion to the increase in population, Kansas has had a greater increase in wealth than any other state, and is therefore better able to cope with other states in higher institutions of learning.
The $50,000 extra for a hall of natural history, is an appropriation which is necessary for the preservation and growth of one of the most valuable departments of our institution—a department which has already outgrown the meagre space allotted to it in its earlier days, trespassing seriously on the space required, and which any other department demands a hall with suitable accommodations for the display and usefulness of its valuable collections, now packed away in inaccessible places.
We now wait the wise action of our state legislature; but judging from the past, have no fears that the representatives of the people of Kansas, who are so proud of their institution of learning, which attracts the most intelligent class of citizens to within her borders, will allow the Kansas State University to long remain at the bottom of the list in comparison with other State institutions.
A prominent young business man of the city, to be married soon, has a novel way of bidding for wedding presents. He writes his wealthy friends, sending them a small gift on one plea and another. Being a poor scribe, however, he engages others to do his writing. He then grumbles about the charges for such labor. Appreciating the high artistic talent of the members of the Courier staff, the services of one was asked in this line last week. A bill was sent, but no returns have been received as yet. We cannot allow our staff to be imposed upon in this way. If no returns next week, we will be heard from more definitely.
EXCHANGE.
We are glad to receive the Cornell Era, a weekly from Cornell College. The subscription price is $2.50 per year, which is higher than any other college paper we have seen.
The Dennison Collegian is a monthly from Granville, Ohio. Its literary department is not what is to be expected from a monthly magazine. Its local columns are well filled with bright and newsy items.
The fight still goes on between the Illini and the local Democratic paper at Champaign, Ill. We will bet on the Illini, as the editor seems quite handy with the quill when he gets on his war paint.
The Bethany Collegian comes to us this month much improved, both externally and internally.

A writer in the Vanderbilt Observer says that the number of colleges in the south is enormous; but out of this immense number very few have advantages sufficient to justify the name they hold, yet "all of them stand up with the dignity, gravity and majesty of learned bodies, and confer degrees and bestow diplomas equal in outward respects to those of Yale. The smallest institution in the south confers the degree of M. A., yet a student with that appulation from one of the most prominent colleges recently proved himself a most miserable failure in the lower classes of Vanderbilt University."—College Rambler.

Considering the severity of the weather Wednesday evening, the attendance at Mrs. Lyon's debut was truly flattering.

As Lady Macbeth, especially is the sleep-walking scene Charlotte Cushman was really equalled. She cannot but succeed in her bistronic career.

One More Joyful Heart.
September 3rd last, C. J. Matlock, of Opelis, Kansas, brought his little daughter, aged seven, to W. H. Kimberlin, of the Eye and Ear Infirmary of Kansas City, Mo. The little one was suffering from ulceration of the evelids, whiche was rapidly destroying the sight. Her parents spared neither time nor money in seeking relief for the little sufferer, but all their efforts seemed in vain until happily they sought the advice of Dr. Kimberlin. Mr. Matlock writes:
OPOLIS, KAN., Nov. 3, 1884.
Dr. Kimberlin, Dear Sir -- Little girl's eyes are seemingly well as any one's eyes She has been going to school for the past two weeks, and is learning very fast.
Respectfully.
Buy nothing for Christmas until you have visited Crew's.
At Cosley's grand fancy dress carnival Christmas eve, $25 in prizes will be given.

Grand march will be called immediately after the distribution of prizes. Music this week Friday and Saturday evenings. Grand March Friday evening.

Regent's Report.
From the Topeka Capital of Sunday we extract the following from the report of the Board of Regents of K. S. U., to his Excellency, the Governor:
For detailed and specific information touching the various departments, we respectfully refer you to the reports of the professors herewith presented. The clerk's report makes an accurate exhibit of all monies expended under the authority of the board. These accounts have been carefully audited and found correct. The chancellor's report, also herein with laid before you, presents a general survey of the work accomplished during the biennium, together with a statement of the present condition and needs of the University.
In the work of instruction the following departments have been organized ;
1. Mental and Moral Science.
2. Natural History.
3. Latin Language and Literature.
5. History and Political Science.
6. Greek Language and Literature
7. Law
7. Law.
8. Normal Department.
9. English Literature, Logic, Rhetoric and Belles-lettres.
10. German and French.
11. Civil Engineering.
12. Chemistry, Mineralogy and Metallurgy.
13. Physics and Astronomy.
Each of these departments has been committed to the care of a professor, who is made responsible under the Board of Regents, for the work assigned him. Assistant professors have also been appointed, and their work distributed as follows:
1. Natural History, one assistant in the laboratory and class room,and one in the field.
2. Latin Language, half the time of an assistant, whose help is divided with the department of Greek.
3. Mathematics, half the time of an assistant.
4. Law, one assistant.
5. Greek, half the time of an assistant.
6. English Literature, an assistant, who also gives instruction in cloention.
7. German and French, one assistant.
or an assistant.
8. Civil Engineering, half the time of an assistant.
We cannot better sum up the above comparison than by quoting substantially from the article which furnishes the above statistics :
"Of all the institutions compared, the University of Kansas, though occupying very high rank in the character of results secured, has the smallest endowment, the smallest receipts from endowment and the smallest receipts from the State; has received no gifts, as compared with $300,000 to Michigan, half that to California, $30,000 to Missouri, and $15,000 to Wisconsin—all in a single year; stands sixth and lowest in the list of receipts from students, though only fifth in the number in attendance—showing great generosity on the part of the management of the institution; as to gross receipts, stands next to the lowest; pays the lowest total amount for instruction; pays next to the lowest salary for president or chancellor, and the lowest salaries to the faculty and assistant; yet demands the greatest number of hours service, and compels them to instruct the largest number of students—more than twice as many as the general average; expends the smallest amount on its library, that most necessary of all the apparatus of instruction—and therefore, naturally has the smallest library; is next to the lowest in the charges placed on each student; and expends the least for the instruction of each student—cheapness of which he may not boast.
Still more briefly; in seventeen points of comparison, touching matters essential to good work, and showing generous patronage and support,
Kansas stands in nearly every respect at the foot of the list! Was there ever a better year than this, in which to make radical reform?
The urgent need of a hall, devoted to natural history, has forced itself upon our attention. For a statement of the facts in the case, we beg leave to refer you to the chancellor's report, and to the following communication from the faculty, bearing upon the same subject:
To the Board of Regents, Kansas State University.
We, the faculty of the University of Kansas, would respectfully suggest to the Board that it is almost imperative that the coming legislature provide means for the erection of a special building for the department of natural history. The growth of that department has been remarkable, and it has reached the point where it can rightly demand substantial recognition. No one long resident in Kansas need be reminded of the many ways in which it has practically and helpfully touched the daily lives of by far the largest class of our citizens. None can forget that all it has accomplished has come from the earnest and self-sacrificing labors of the man who still guides and quickens its growth.
His collections are usually complete and valuable. In Entomology it is said to have but one superior—Harvard College. In all branches of its work it is pressing well to the front. But its collections are limited in their usefulness by reason of their necessarily imperfect display; are not convenient for reference; and large portions of them ore stored in accessible places, liable to deterioration and decay. What is needed, and needed at once, is ample room, which cannot be secured in the present building. Although encroaching so very seriously on space demanded by other departments as to cause great embarrassment, and to impair their efficiency, its own wants are not relieved.
We cannot believe that under a proper presentation the legislature will refuse to make the appropriation necessary for a large and permanent building for this department. If in providing for the future there should be any space at present not occupied, it could be readily and effectually used for the library, which needs a very radical change in location and adaptation to the wants of both general and special students.
(Signed)
D. H. ROBINSON, See'y.
For reasons herein set forth, the Board of Regents, without a dissenting voice, resolved at its September meeting, to memorialize the legislature for an appropriation of $50,000 for the purpose of erecting on the University grounds a building for the department of natural history. This item will therefore be found in the table of estimates herein presented.
To one more point we beg leave to ask your attention—the need of a chancellor's residence on or near the University grounds. The convenience of strangers and others who are led by business relations to visit the University, makes necessary the chancellor's presence at all hours of the day and of the evening. The proper management of the general business interests of the institution similarly demand his presence. This demand is heightened by a consideration of the value of the property and the need of every precaution in its protection. The buildings, if destroyed by fire, might be restored; but the various cabinets and appliances of instruction are the accumulation of years, and many of them, if destroyed or lost, could not be replaced. The necessity of the residence of the chancellors on the grounds is generally recognized among colleges. Such provision is made in two of the State Universities elsewhere referred to in this report, and also in our own Agricultural College. Such a residence should, at an early day, as we think, be provided for the State University.
We respectfully present in the following scheme, a table of estimates
These estimates have been made up with the main pains-taking deliberation. The actual needs of the institution have been kept constantly in mind, but at the same time the utmost care has been exercised in the direction of a rigid economy:
for the years ending June 30,1886 and June 30,1887.
ESTIMATES FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30,1886.
Salary of Chancellor ... $3,000
Prof. Natural History ... 2,000
Salaries of nine Professors ... 16,000
Salaries of five Assistants ... 5,000

Maps, Charts and Illustrative Apparatus ...
Apparatus, Department of Physics ...
paratus . . . . .
The estimates for the year ending June 30, 1887, are the same as the above, with the exception of the two last items.
In closing our reports we would respectfully add, that residents, as we are in different sections of the State, it is our common experience that there exists among the people a deep and pervading interest in the growth and success of the University.
As the State matures the demand for higher education naturally increases. The young men born upon Kansas soil look within its borders for educational advantages, and for all the means and facilities for a thorough intellectual development.
The alumni, scattered as they are through the State and the west, evince invariably an earnest and sincere regard for their Alma'Mater.
We cannot speak too highly of the present faculty of the University. They are earnest men, in the prime of life, devoting their best energies to its growth and developments. Their compensation might very properly be increased, but with so many other expenditures necessarily embraced in our report, we have not felt at liberty to press this question.
In the performance of our official duties, we have endeavored to obtain a clear and thorough insight into both the wants and the prospects of the institution, and we but express a conviction common to us all when we say that if it shall receive at this time proper support and aid, it can be made specially to take its place by the side of the oldest and best institution of learning in the country, and become at once a most important factor in the growth and intellectual development of the youth of the State.
Very respectfully,

On last Monday afternoon about thirty students called on Prof. Canfield to see his Greek Bell (?).
The Courier wishes to each and every student the compliments of the season, and a pleasant, profitable vacation.
Owing to the departure of many of the students for their homes, there will be no session of the literary societies this afternoon.
The two societies ought to acknowledge every point wherein they are wrong, and "put her thar" over the gory abyss.
There was considerable commotion in the halls this week, on account of the actions or rather of the inaction of the joint committee.
Each society said it would be a cold day when they got left, and both having been left, accounts, no doubt, for the extremely chilly atmosphere.
A young lady who recently visited the University, fainted upon being ushered into the room containing Prof. Dyche's bear. Ask Wemple about it.
The University Cash Dining Association is the most popular boarding club among the students. It numbers twenty-two members, several of whom have recently been affected with the gout.
The Orophilians, under the direction of Prof. McDonald, will give musical and literary entertainments at several places in this part of the state, after the holidays. The entertainments will not be composed of dry solos and disinteresting instrumental music, but will be comic, entertaining and instructive. We hope to be able to give our readers the fate of the concert at this place in the near future.
The Sophomore class in surveying, under the direction of Prof. Marvin, made an accurate survey of the University grounds on last Saturday. The boys propose to submit a bill for services at the next session of the regents.
We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement which will appear for some time, of Prof. Spalding's Business College, Kansas City.
The Sophomores expect to have a party after the holidays. Already threats of violence are being made by pugnacious (?) Freshmen and cowardly Preps. These infants should read the record of these mighty men, (the Sophs.) and beware.
Oread society has come down to the basis of business. The discriminating between factions and fraternities has almost vanished, and prospects indicate a more prosperous future for our sister society. There is room in K. S. U. for two good, strong literary societies, and we wish to both Oread and Orophilian a flourishing and successful career.
OROPHILIAN.—The Orophilians met last Friday promptly at 2:30 P.M., with a large audience in attendance. The program before recess was short but interesting. Miss H. Cook and A. L. Sloan did themselves credit in the delivery of two comic declamations. An oration upon "Art and Religion," by Webster Davis, was one of the most masterly efforts to which we ever had the pleasure of listening. Mr. J, E. Curry carried the society back to the sultry days of summer, and reproduced the last "Fourth of July" oration. After recess the society convened as a senate, and went into committee of the whole, with Miss Nettie Hubbard in the chair. Senate bill No. 2 was warmly discussed on both sides, and after an hour's debate, was passed by a respectable majority. After some very unsatisfactory parleying over the report of the committee on contest, the society adjourned until after holidays.
PHI GAMMA DELTA—The event of the season in society circles thus far was the anniversary ball and banquet of the Phi Gamma Delta, last Tuesday evening. The chapter in K. S. U. has completed its third year, and celebrated its success in an entertainment of its lady friends. At nine o'clock the guests assembled, and passed a couple of hours tripping the light fantastic with the energy known to the Phi Gamms and their friends. With equal ardour they then addressed themselves to an elegant banquet at that prince of caterers, Pershall's. Then dancing was resumed with renewed vigor, and it was far into the next morning when the lateness—or earliness—of the hour, compelled a cessation. It would be sufficient to say that the fraternity upheld its reputation as one of the social institutions of the college. The chapter numbers eighteen active members, and each one showed on that evening that the social side of man's nature is fully appreciated by the Phi Gamms, and with heart, mind, soul and feet they know how to celebrate the close of a successful year and the opening of an auspicious one

The Contest.
Oread won. The severest defeat of the course of contests between the Oread and Orophilian societies was sustained by the Orophilian society last evening. The Orophilians won a victory through their orator, but lost in Debate and Declaration. The judges were Hon. B. W. Woodward, John Hutchings and Prof.Frank Marvin. The contestants were on Essay, Debate and Oration graded on Thought, Composition and Delivery. On these the average grade of each judge stood as follows:
ESSAY.
Orophilian . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 85%    92    92%
Oread . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 89%    92%    87
DEBATE.
Orophilian . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 85%    95%    87%
Oread . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 90    97%    94
ORATION.
Orophilian . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 88%    96%    90%
Oread . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 84%    93%    90%
The efforts of the contestants throughout were notably above those of former contests. Every part was of a standard to be a credit to the University. "It was the hardest fought battle of all." There should be no ill feeling. Conquered should yield gracefully; conquerors should have respect for the feelings of their vanquished.
Students will find the best grades of Coal at Griffin's, Mass., St. just south of the M. E. Church.

The Democrats of this state are frantic civil service reformers in particular cases, but "to the victors belong the spoils" adherents in general. Fact, gentlemen! The shoe does rather pinch in this part of the Democracy's moral vineyard.
It is to be regretted that any difficulty was encountered in reference to arrangements for the annual contest between Oread and Orophilian societies. Saying nothing in regard to the justice of the claims of either society, we will say that it would not be just to the University, the students or the contestants to have the contest declared off.
Many students will be asked by parents and friends while home for the holidays, if it pays to spend time and money attending school at their age. How different the answers will be if given truthfully. To perhaps thirty per cent, who attend any school of a high grade no good results. Would it not be well to individually look to our records and see if we are of this number.
The expression in a former issue in regard to "a clean sweep," seems to be misunderstood by some of our city exchanges. Nothing more was meant than that this was the understanding among the politicians of this state. Whether they represent or misrepresent the feelings of those most interested in the present success of the University, can be thoroughly determined by time alone. The Lawrence Gazette understood the Courier to favor a change, while in fact we counsel due consideration and delay, before the changes hinted at were consummated. If this is done no mistake can be made, as the impression is pretty general as to what action should be or should not be taken, and this impression can be easily verified.
Among other "Kansas things" which it is a duty to be proud of, is the State University. It has a fine building, situated on an imposing height, overlooking one of the loveliest prospects of mingled town and country to be seen in Kansas. It is yearly sought by an increasing body of students, and the alumni are now becoming quite numerous; but an investigation of some figures recently
given to the public shows that the glory attaching to the state through the possession of such a University is very economically sustained. Compared with the Universities of the states of California, Minnesota, Missouri, Michigan and Iowa, our University stands lowest in point of endowments; receipts from students; receipts from all sources; and pays its chancellor and professors the lowest salaries. At the same time it stands fifth in point of attendance. —Achison Champion.
Is This As It Should Be?
Is This As It Should Be?
Kansas is one of the most progressive states in the union. There has never been a state which from its earliest history has attracted the attention as our own glorious state. No state whose advancement has been so wonderful; no state of whom its citizens are prouder; no state which in a short career of twenty-three years has made a greater commotion in the firmament of which it became a member than Kansas!!
It was a senator from Kansas that saved the presidential head of Andrew Johnson. Farther back it furnished the man who was the immediate cause of the conflict which freed 4,000,000 slaves—John Brown. Farther on Kansas gave the mighty cause of prohibition its national signature, furnished two presidential candidates in one year, and the one who decided the turn of the conflict
She is now taking an advanced step in educational matters. She has now one of the best public school systems in the union. They are well cared for. What is now wanted mostly is the advancement of her higher schools. In some of the details of these she is certainly sadly deficient.
The library of our University is a sadly neglected affair. Very little money comparatively, would place it on a fair basis. Kansas with her enterprise should have this. By the following table Kansas University, with above the average collegiate attendance in forty colleges, has the smallest library of them all:

Everybody knows the value of a library. It is as it were the "storehouse of all knowledge." It is a something of which a state having a complete one in its state University, should be proud. Kansas is behind all in this. Comment is unnecessary
EDITOR VIEWS:Being a student of K.S.U.for the past two years, and a careful observer of the progress of each of her departments, I think I have observed a few facts worthy of mention through your columns. The number of graduates from the department of S., L. and A., 1880, 10 1884, 25.From Normal department 1880,8;1884,15.From department of Law,1880,8;1884,8.
VIEWS.
I take 1880 as the year from when to draw comparison, because the first class in law graduated from our institution in that year. The above figures show a marked increase in the number of graduates from all departments save the department of law, in which we find no increase. The cause of this is very plain to one who is acquainted with our law department. What we are pleased to call "our legal library" consists of but a few volumes, insufficient to meet the demand of a thorough course in law. The graduates from our collegiate department, who intend pursuing a course in law, disgusted with the accommodations of our own institution, and tiring of a department that pays its professor so little as to compel him to leave his classes and practice at the bar during terms of court, go to other states to secure a legal education, which might easily be secured at home, and with credit to their own state, if that state would give them a library and pay the professor of the law department a salary which will be equivalent to what ability such as is required for conducting this department, can earn at the bar.
Then our professor can devote his entire time to building up this department, and the best students will get their legal education at home, and the money spent in securing an education abroad will be kept within the state, and many will come to Kansas to secure their legal education.
It is a notable fact that our students have been more than usually attentive to University work this year. There has been less of the social tendency that is to the detriment of studies. All seem to recognize the importance of "duty first and pleasure afterwards." But now that the holidays are here all can conscientiously lay aside all studies and give themselves up to two weeks of unrestrained recreation and pleasure. This is now a source of great satisfaction to professors and students. Each one restrained and held down by the pressure of hard study, will the more enjoy his recreation, and leave K. S. U. to spend two weeks perhaps at home with Pa and Ma, or perhaps in the sunny clime of New Orleans. But wherever you may be the "Views" extends to you its warmest wishes for a pleasant vacation, and expresses the hope that each one may return vigorous and ready for work.

We have received the third number of the Student's Journal, from Bloomington, Ill. It is a good local paper, and ought to be popular with the students of the college. Either cut out your literary matter and run as a strictly local paper, or increase the amount.
EXCHANGE.
The Chronicle, from Ann Arbor, is one of the best of our exchanges. It is published fortnightly, but is better than many of the monthlies we receive. Its cover is both rich and gaudy.
We see that the "Advice to Freshman by one who did," which appeared in the University Press, has been copied by a large number of our exchanges, and generally without credit. Now, if you must steal news, do as the Courier local man does, and change a few words and pass it off as original.

The College Courier, from Monmouth college, contains a long letter from Lawrence, in which the writer gives a very good picture of our University. He says that among other things they have "numerous fraternities, which are a fine thing as social institutions, but a great nuisance in society and college politics." The literary societies "do not compare well with those of Monmouth college. Fraternities do it."
The Dickinsonian, with its cover of fly paper, is on our table. It is so elated over the defeat of the Brush Creek base ball club by its own crack nine, that it can find nothing else to howl about. We are glad that winter has set in, so we can't have any more base ball until next spring.
Most of our exchanges speak in the highest terms of the Ann Arbor Index. We beg leave to send in a minority report. If the professors of two colleges combined can't get up a better paper than the Index they had better appoint a receiver and turn the paper over to the Preps. We receive at least a dozen exchanges which are better in every way than the Index.
The following is a partial list of our exchanges: American Journal of Education, Cornelian, Adelphian, College Journal, College Rambler, Chronicle, Argonaut, Crescent, College Transcript, Critic, Colby Echo, College Index, Monmouth Collegian, Dickinsonian, Mirror, News-Letter, Illint, Bee, Student's Journal, Badger, University Press, Advocate, Butchel Record, College Stylus, Rockford Seminary Magazine, Sunbeam, Occident, Washington-Jefferson, Normal News, Academica, Lehigh Burr, Nelsonian, Hillsdale Herald, King's College Record, Haverfordian, Dennison Collegian, Bethany Collegian, Central Collegian, Baldwin Index, Industrialist, Swarthmore Phoenix, Indiana Student, Hanover Monthly, High School Bulletin, Educationalist, Simpsonian, Star-Crescent, Georgetown College Journal, Wubash Lariat, Review, Alamo and San Jacinto Monthly, Peddie Institute Chronicle, Cornell Era, Atlantis, College Courant, University Journal.

Mr. John Werntz, of Lyndon, Kas, accompanies by his faulty physician, Dr Miller, came to Kansas City seeking relief from that dreaded condition, blindness, his sight having entirely failed him four years ago. On consulting many friends here, he was advised to call on Dr. Kimberlin, at the Eye and Ear Infirmary. Dr. Kimberlin advised an immediate operation. The operation consisted in cutting open the eyeball and removing the opaque lens, which resulted in the immediate restoration of vision. Mr. Werntz blessed God that he could again see the faces of his fellow men. It is now twelve days since the operation, and each day vision becomes stronger. Mr. W. leaves for his home to merry a happy man.

While in Kansas City last week, we made the pleasure of visiting Prof. Spalding and his truly grand Business College, in Commercial Block, corner of 11th and Main streets. Prof. Spalding is a graduate of Ann Arbor, holding the degree of Maste of Arts; is a gentleman and thorough man of business, in the highest acceptance of those terms. He has now devoted upwards of thirty years to Business College work. With a faculty of fifteen members all old and experienced instructors, his school to-day, backed by the University of Kansas City, stands on a par basis with the largest and best Colleges of the eastern states. It is not excelled by Bryant's College, superintended by the "old man himself," in Chicago, in general thoroughness of work. The habit of our students upon becoming dissatisfied with a full collegiate course going on to Quincey and Chicago i nonsensical. It is true this college has been getting a fair share of this, yet there is no reason why it should not have it all. Its telegraph department is connected with the wires of the Western Union Company. The graduates from the short-hand department are at once furnished and hold the most responsible positions in Kansas City St. Louis and Denver. At the Inter-State Fair last September it was awarded nin first premiums. Premiums as follows, for every entry it made: The bronze media for the best pen-drawing (portrait); the bronze medal for the best India-ink drawing (portrait); the silver medal for the best collection of pen-drawings and six diplomas for the best specimens of business and ornamental penmanship; best specimens of plain and ornamental card writing; best specimens of flourishing, plain and ornamental lettering and engrossing; best specimens of artistic and solid penmanship best specimen of pen work, executed by artist exhibitor thirty years ago, and for the best display of business and ornamental penmanship, pen-drawing, flourishing, plain and ornamental card writing, lettering and engrossing.
Anybody visiting Professor Spalding will find him one of the most courteous, businesslike gentlemen he ever met.

OREAD.—In the absence of Miss Brown, Vice President Dunn called the society to order. Then followed the regular order of business. Essays were read by M. E. Cox and J. B. Shanafelt. A piano solo by Miss Luella Moore received loud applause. Miss Hunnicut and Miss Moore each read selections. The program was not entirely filled, on account of the sickness of some of the members. After recess the regular debate was taken up, and discussed on the affirmative by Morgan and Fritz; on the negative by Markley and Shanafelt. The judges decided that a national pauper fund should be established. Under "miscellaneous business" H. A. Smith presented his resignation, and W. Y. Morgan was appointed on the committee of arrangements for the contest. The committee on arrangements reported partially, as it were. It will have to again meet the Orophilian committee before satisfactory arrangements can be made.
It is sad to be called upon to notice the untimely death of a young man or woman, and especially so if the deceased by a display of kindness, courtesy and true manhood or womanhood gave promise of an exceptionally bright career. Death's angel has again appeared amidst us and claimed as his own one of the fairest of K. S. U's, daughters, Mrs. Gertie Swickard. She was well known to us all, and we voice the general grief with which the news was received. She passed away December 15th, at her home in Equity, Kansas. The remains were brought to Lawrence and here interred, four of her old schoolmates acting as pall bearers.
To the bereaved husband and parents we offer our heartfelt sympathy for the loss of a devoted wife and a loving daughter.
The Oread society, of which Mrs. Swickard was a 'member, met and took action as follows:
It will be remembered that at the fourth annual contest between the Oread and Orophilian societies, Oread was represented in a pleasing and highly satisfactory manner by Miss Gertrude Russ as declaimer, and Mr. N.A. Swickard as debater, and the triumph recorded for Oread was greatly owing to those efforts. These two were afterwards united in the bonds of holy matrimony, and at a special meeting of Oread society, Dec. 17th, the following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, Our Heavenly Father having seen fit in His infinite wisdom to take to Himself our former member, Gertrude (Russ) Swickard,
Resolved, That we deeply mour the loss of a beloved and zealous member, and one who conferred at this time last year at our annual contest, great honor upon our society.
Resolved, That we extend our most sincere and heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved husband and parents.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of Orcad society, be furnished to the relatives of the deceased, and be published in the city and University papers. B.C.PRESTON,

The theory that the rainfall of Kansas is increasing now, receives the unqualified support of Prof. Snow, of the State University. In a paper before the Kansas Academy of Science held in this city, Prof. Snow said that the records at Leavenworth for nineteen years previous to the settlement of Kansas, compared with similar records for nineteen years since its settlement, showed an increase of an average of more than five inches of rain.

There are 190 college papers in the United States, the oldest of which is the Brunoian, founded in 1825.
For divers reasons the Courier is this week issued a few days in advance of its regular publication day. Next week it will appear on Wednesday.
All ladies keeping "open house"
New Years will do us a favor by leaving such information at either Messrs. Field & Co's, or Crew's bookstore.
We desire to have our list as complete as possible.
There are 4,773 theological, 3,227 law and 14,536 medical students in the United States. There are also 32,000 students in the collegiate departments of the different colleges of the United States.
The building for the department of natural history asked of the coming legislature, is necessary to meet the demands of the people of the State, for study and research in the natural sciences, matters which materially interest and effect every true Kansan.
"KANSAS LEADS,"—Such is the title of an able editorial now going the rounds of the press. Her common school system even surpasses the boasted one of Massachusetts. But nevertheless it is a fact that her State University has more students to the number of professors, requires more work from its faculty, pays smaller salaries, and the private opinions of the instructors create a bigger disturbance than any other similar institution.
The new gymnasium at Amherst is 120x80 feet, and with all its equipments cost about $88,000. It is now practically finished with the exception of the basement, and when completed will be, it is said, the finest gymnasium in the world.
Our worthy and much beloved ex-Chancellor, Rev. Dr. Marvin, as ever seems to be the "right man in the right place," as superintendent of Haskell Indian Institute. He now has about 300 little red men and women under his charge. They come in from the "war path" and are at once brought into the most docile submission under the well systematized regulations of their "Father." Better hands they could not be placed in. The Doctor has the well wishes of every student in the K. S. U. in all his undertakings.
Prof. Miller is to be thanked for the good work he is doing in the library this week. Being indexed, when completed in his hands it will so much more convenient for reference.
The crowning glory of Kansas is her free school system. In the school houses of the state are growing up the men and women who will soon rule the government, and who by their education will know how to use their power for the people and the republic. The State University is the crown of our school system, and is the place to which the young men and women may come and build upon the foundation laid in the lower schools. A collegiate education is not limited to the wealthy, but every person without regard to wealth, position or race can here win for himself a liberal education.
To Members of the Kansas Legislature of 1885.
You are now receiving a copy of each issue of the COURIER. The COURIER is supported and maintained strictly by the students of the State University. Its advertising columns and subscription list supports it financially. It even receives no advertising patronage from the board of regents. Only over his own signature is any member of the faculty allowed to donate matter to its columns. Thus it is strictly a student's paper.
You meet in a couple of weeks. You have the welfare of our grand institution, THE STATE UNIVERSITY, for the coming two years, in your hands. It is for this reason you now receive the COURIER. We do not believe there is a citizen of Kansas who is not proud of her educational advantages. As a body of her most distinguished citizens, you surely are. Without discussion you will probably grant the K. S. U her usual appropriation. But her board of regents this session asks for $50,000 extra for a natural history building. With the cry "cut State expenditures," you may hesitate upon this a little. We hope not seriously, however. We need it badly. This department, under charge of Prof. F. H. Snow, is the strongest in our institution. In line of collections, as to completeness, classification, etc., it is surpassed in the United States by Harvard only. This branch of science in which the agricultural classes of our state are most deeply interested, should be fostered. This building is now most sadly needed. Prof. Snow has in the past year lost some valuable collections through improper advantages for storage. By noting statistics which will appear from time to time in our columns, you will observe that the appropriations made and asked for our institution are very low compared with those of the general higher educational institutions of the country.
We hope you will be a little generous with your State University this session. Please note "statistics" in another column.
It is maintained by a great many that the contest orations of Messrs. Gilmore and Bruce last week were the ablest ever delivered by under-graduates from the faculty rostrum. This is certainly complimentary to the boys, as it is understood they will both enter the oratorial contest in February. With the stimulous this
has given them, a couple of fine efforts may be expected.
"At Yale college the other day, two students, Oliver Dyer, Jr., of '86. and Williams, of '85, engaged in a sparring match, and the result has proved fatal to one of them. It seems that Williams struck Dyer a half dozen left handers about the face, when Dyer's knees began to double under him and he fell backward. He was fainting from excitement. As he was going, a left handler from Williams took him on the chin and set his head back. He sank to the floor, and as unfortunately as could be, his head struck the narrow board that forms the boundary of the ring in the gymnasium with sufficient force to snap his neck."—Exchange.

Council Grove Guard : The modesty of the State University is only equaled by its necessities, which this year is $86,000. There is only this to be said of that: If the State wants first-class schools it must make proper and needed provision therefor; and it would cost the State no more to make the proper expenditures now than at some other time. The "penny wise and pound foolish" policy of the State toward its institutions of learning has been a great detriment to the people. We hope the legislature will take a step in advance in this matter.
It is amusing—making one "smole out loud"—to see the Journal of this city, the noted exponent of patent medicine advertisements, Bourbonish fogyism as a "news disseminator, attempting to slur the work of men in the journalistic field who have more brains in their fingers ends than its editors ever thought of possessing in their craniums. In its Tuesday morning issue, under the head of "Sid's spleen," it proceeds to cast insinuations upon Hon. Sidney Clark, give "advice" to the Kansas City Times, and maliciously slanders its correspondent at this place. This seems to be "royal fun" for its befuddled-minded editors. For the past year it has been giving periodical "advice" to eastern metropolitan journals as to their correspondent at this place. Unworthy of attention, no one seems to take offense or notice of them. Their puerile attempts at blackmailing are laughable. If the Journal would attend to its own business, and strive to be worthy of public patronage, its circulation would not-to-day be the non-entity it is.

The University News!
Its Obituary Presented Instead, on the Day It Should Appear.
THE WEAKLY CHILD OF THE UNIVERSITY REVIEW DIES A TERRIBLE DEATH.
Poor Review Company!
THE BURIAL OF THE LORD
To-day the University News should make its tenth appearance, but having succumbed to the inevitable, its maintenance seeming to have been more than its originators contracted for. THE COURIER, with its usual enterprise, that the readers of The News be not disappointed (? ) by its non-appearance, issues this supplement.
Obituary notices are always painful to write. The word "obituary" is so suggestive of sorrow, affliction and trouble, that one naturally shudders at seeing it. But in this world of "care and trouble" it would seem that innumerable are the unhappy missions cast to man's lot. The COURIER, in its holy mission of reform, it would seem, is not to be an exception.
We mourn the decease of what claimed to be a relative. THE NEWS IS NO MORE! Born in an hour of adversity, from the first we had not expected it to develop into vigorous maturity, but really had hoped that with careful nursing by its friends, unafflicted by the venom of those who would be inclined to hate, that its life might be prolonged until at least some idea might be gained as to its pedigree. But the fates seemed against it. It was untroubled by the uncultured “Barbarians,” but nevertheless, from the first it pined in the hands of friends. It grew weaker and weaker, until at last, at an untimely moment, a discussion among its doctors as to the medicine it should be given, resulting in a disagreement which only missed resulting in bloodshed, it—unfortunate infant of circumstances—expired! Yea, expired! To-day is the date on which it should make its tenth appearance to an admiring public, but in its stead (oh, disappointment!!) we are compelled to present this sad token of “what was, but is not.” The following notice will perhaps be all that can be recorded to pass down to posterity:
Died, Nov.—. Last signs of life, Nov. 4, its eight appearance—The (Weekly) University News, weakly child of the afflicted University Review, an infant, never strong, its worldly career short, and marked only by purity and innocence.
"Its spirit passeth unsullied to its originators."
Its pitiful, sorrowful existence is to be summed up in (1) Unfortunate circumstances of birth. (2) Uncongeniality of atmosphere in which it was expected to live. (3) Lack of nourishment, owing to condition of its parent's financial affairs. (4) Unfortunate and to be depreciated criminal disagreement of its medical advisers at the critical moment, the undoubted "turning point," when it might have been saved. (6) Last and greatest, LACK OF BRAINS.
With all their mistakes, however, the afflicted parents, doctors, friends, *et ali*, are to be condoled with.
THE COUCHER hereby extends its most sincere sympathy (which from the kindly and officious part it took in the burial ceremonies, is not to be doubted or construed as at all hypocritical) to the afflicted mourners.

For divers reasons the COURIER is this week issued a few days in advance of its regular publication day. Next week it will appear on Wednesday.
All ladies keeping "open house"
New Years will do us a favor by leaving such information at either Messrs, Field & Co's, or Crew's bookstore. We desire to have our list as complete as possible.
There are 4,773 theological, 3,227 law and 14,536 medical students in the United States. There are also 32,000 students in the collegiate departments of the different colleges of the United States.
The building for the department of natural history asked of the coming legislature, is necessary to meet the demands of the people of the State, for study and research in the natural sciences, matters which materially interest and effect every true Kansan.
"KANSAS LEADS,"—Such is the title of an able editorial now going the rounds of the press. Her common school system even surpasses the boasted one of Massachusetts. But nevertheless it is a fact that her State University has more students to the number of professors, requires more work from its faculty, pays smaller salaries, and the private opinions of the instructors create a bigger disturbance than any other similar institution.
The new gymnasium at Amherst is 120x80 feet, and with all its equipments cost about $88,000. It is now practically finished with the exception of the basement, and when completed will be, it is said, the finest gymnasium in the world.
Our worthy and much beloved ex-Chancellor, Rev. Dr. Marvin, as ever seems to be the "right man in the right place," as superintendent of Haskell Indian Institute. He now has about 300 little red men and women under his charge. They come in from the "war path" and are at once brought into the most docile submission under the well systematized regulations of their "Father." Better hands they could not be placed in. The Doctor has the well wishes of every student in the K. S. U. in all his undertakings.
Prof. Miller is to be thanked for the good work he is doing in the library this week. Being indexed, when completed in his hands it will so much more convenient for reference.
The crowning glory of Kansas is her free school system. In the school houses of the state are growing up the men and women who will soon rule the government, and who by their education will know how to use their power for the people and the republic. The State University is the
crown of our school system the place to which the young women may come and build foundation laid in the low. A collegiate education is r to the wealthy, but ever without regard to wealth, j race can here win for himself education.

AN OLD LADY'S EXPERIENCE.—Mrs. E. E. Clark, aged 56 years, of 26 Holmes st., Kansas City, has suffered from childhood with diseased eyes, and has sought diligently for relief in various ways, and employed those who have the reputation of being the best oculists, but all without avail. The disease progressed steadily until the complete loss of vision was the result. One month ago she was brought by Rev. Page, pastor Congregational church at K. C., to the Kansas City Eye and Ear Infirmary to ascertain whether or not she must be forever blind, as had been professionally declaimed. Dr. W. H. Kimberlin was consulted and promised all the assistance and relief that his skill and experience could give. After two weeks treatment we are very glad to announce Mrs. Clark is now able to see, and without doubt the happiest of women. Sue expresses much gratitude to her pastor who guided her to light and vision.

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS.--After much wrangling and many plans on the part of the literary societies to secure a course of lectures which would supply the old course, which seems to have died for want of proper support, all plans have failed. The money making scheme on the part of the societies, for a time seemed to be given up. But Orophilians, anxious to meet the payment soon due on its piano, appointed a committee to devise a scheme by which the money could be raised. This committee reported last Friday. The plan proposed seems to us one that will warrant success. A number of Orophilians are to be chosen, who are to give concerts at small towns. Professor McDonald is to drill the participants, and accompany them, taking part in the exercises.
The expenses of the company are to be deducted from the proceeds, and Professor McDonald is to receive one-fifth of the remainder, the balance going to the society. If expenses exceed the profits, the society propose to make it good, and Professor McDonald asks nothing for his assistance.
This plan seems likely to be a success, because it will be seen to that the college spirit is carried with the company as far as possible. This will attract many, for people living at a distance from college, or University, have a curiosity to come in contact with students, and to hear college songs.
Such a plan, or some other from which money can be made, seems necessary; for in our institution all the money students can spare for such purposes is laid out in procuring and furnishing halls for their fraternities.
The society halls of the State Normal are better furnished and better kept than the society halls of the Kansas State University. This I think grows out of the fact that there are no fraternities there, and the money that would be spent in fraternities is thus used in beautifying and taking care of their society halls.
But since we have so many other places to spend our surplus, let us all support the scheme so well arranged by the energetic persons who have charge of it, and thus enable our societies to keep their halls up with the times.
The scheme is one that should be adopted by both societies, and under the guidance of competent managers it will prove a financial success.
EDITOR OF VIEWS:—As an old student I should like to say a word as to the lack of room and general advantages in the present quarters of the library. The room is so small, alcoves so crowded, aisles necessarily so narrow, that the moving about of one person disturbs every person in the room.
Eastern colleges save their separate buildings for library purposes. The city of Topeka has a fine library building on the State capitol grounds. While this is perhaps beyond our reach, more room should be had. If the appropriation for the natural history building is secured perhaps room can be found in this. L.
EXCHANGE.
We would like to receive the Alabama University Monthly, having read so much of its excellence.
The News-Letter has an article on roller skating, in which it says that that practice is almost as bad as dancing. We'll never skate again. (We can't.)
The Atlantis is one of the papers which we like to receive. Its departments are uniformly excellent, and the contents show great care taken by the editors.
The district schools of Kansas cost last year, nearly three and half million dollars. Kansas believes in "a school house on every hill and no saloon in the valley."
We hope that the Wesleyan Bee has run out of its villainous wood cuts. The points to pictures of Jay Gould, Vanderbilt, etc., in a college paper, is exceedingly fine.
The State Superintendent of Public Instruction in California has decided that the Chinese children cannot be admitted to the public schools. However, the Chinese parent is taxed all the same.
Ohio has more universities and colleges than any other state in the Union. Illinois comes second on the list, having 28 institutions of that kind, among which the Wesleyan University ranks second.
The Haverfordian is a good paper, and we are surprised at its statement of only a circulation of five hundred, and some of those gratis. It has a decided manly tone, which we like, and should be better supported.
The fraternity men in the University of Nebraska have been expelled from the literary societies. It was the old story of fraternity ambition, and rule or ruin policy, but the Barbs now have them well under control.
Wabash College has two papers, which to use the description of one by the other, are the Wabash, "an occasional semi-paper," and the Lariat, a semi-occasional paper. If we believe them both, they are both bankrupt.
The Baldwin Index has an "editorial" from Ruskin. The rest of that department is filled up with an essay on the decay of modern art, and the individuality of man. We would hate to try anything like that on in this college.
An elevator was put at Vassar to assist in transferring the young ladies to classes. It was not much used at first, as the dear creatures preferred to slide down the banisters, till a wicked visitor inserted a nail therein, at an angle of forty-five degrees.
We had begun to congratulate ourselves that the foot ball season was over, and the sporting fiend of the eastern papers would let up. But here comes the Swarthmore Phonix with reports of three games. The Phonix, however, is one of our best exes.
J. W. Sponable, of Paola, has given $500 towards a public library in Paola, and now the Republican says: J. W. Sponable has $1,000 which he will donate towards purchasing a piece of land on which to build a hospital. He has also $500 to help pay for a chime of bells for Paola.
